NEW BILL FOR MOTHERS'AID Vickerman's Administrative Measure Submitted to House Representative John W. Vicker nian of Allegheny county who has had had charge of mothers' pension legislation during the last three ses sions last night introduced into the House the re-dral'ted act. which provides for two important changes. The law now allows maximum grants of sl2 for one child, S2O for two children, $26 for three, and $3 for each additional child. The new bill provides a max'mum of S2O per month for one child and $lO for each additional child. This change is rendered absolutely necessary by the great increase in the cost of living which has taken place since the law was passed in 1913. The Monthly Isihor Review of the Hureau of Labor Statistics points out that the cost of living lias increased from December 1914 to August 1918 more than 65 per cent., but the mothers receiving grants are still dependent upon the allowances which were thought ade quate six years ago. It cost an aver age last year of $15.48 to take care of a child in the 59 institutions of the State receiving State appropria tions. New York State allows the hoards of trustees to grant a mother the same amount per child that it would cost to care for the child in an institution. Wyoming already al lows S2V) a month for one child and $lO for each additional, which is JL Sensible Cigarette IN'OTFi—More tincl more men are rpfiiNinic to JudKP ti elmircflr l> KM high prior or by 11 || , ianry, rxprnKlvp box.

The second important change in j Mr. Vickerman's bill is that which provides a reduction in the residen tial requiremnt. Now a mother must live three years continuously in a county before she is eligible to assistance. The new hill requires that she live one year in the county and two years in the State to bc i come eligible. The following states I now require a state residence of I only two years: Minnesota. Mon | tana. Nebraska. New Hampshire, i New York. Ohio, Oklahoma. Ten ; nessee, and Utah. It is particularly | necessary to change the law now, • because so many families which had I a long residence in one county Have I been compelled to move because of I war work into another county. The men in many cases died either of ! influenza or some other cause in the ' new county, leaving their families j without support: they were thus in | eligible to assistance in the new I county and they had lost their resl i dence according to the present law jin the old one. The new bill also j provides that a family does not lose i its residence in a county in which it : has acquired it, until it has been re | moved from such county for one I year. Thirty-six states and Alaska now , have mothers' pension laws. The j Pennsylvania law which provides for I the administration through county j boards of women trustees with a j State supervisor is considered a ■ standard law throughout the coitnt i ry. and the states of New York and I Delaware patterned their laws upon it. Forty counties are now organized | under mother's pension law, and a j number of counties will come into j the system as soon as the new ap | propriation is available in June. , Within the next few years it is con | tldently expected that Mothers' Pen i sions will be available in all of the i counties. The law is a part of the educa- I tional machinery of the State. The State/ helps the mother to support I her children while they are in the school record of the child is one of the most important tests of the mother's eligibility to assistance. A school census is made yearly of all- the children of gchool age under the cure cf the fund, j Great emphasis is placed upon hav ing the children continue for as long a time as possible in high school and. many children have been ale to I take vocational or commerbhfl courses through the fund, whlcn i have fitted them to earn ta larger j wage and to maintain a higher standard of living than would otlier | wise have been possible. Shunk Bill Goes to Sub-Committee | The Shunk bill authorizing the j Public Service Commission to sus ' pend new rates when litigation is | commenced was referred to a special | committee consisting of Senators I Lyre, Sones ami Iloyd at the conclu j sion ot a hearing by the Senate ju- I dietary special committee at which j representatives of municipalities and j legislators urged Its enactment and street railway men opposed it. The j measure passed the House recently. A number of persons front various | parts of the State voiced objections 1 against the rebate system of collect- I ing unauthorized increased fares, I and claimed that in many cases, the ! rebate slips were delivered only upon demand. Gordon Campbell, president of the ; Pennsylvania Street Railway Asso i elation declared that the present | Public Service law is well adapted to | the State's needs. Mr. Campbell | said that it was impractical to wait I until the Public Service Commission j has spent months in investigating ; the case, before raising the rates. | "It is necessary," said Mr. Campbell, j "to act quickly and energetically, ; when materials and labor soar ♦iky high. Otherwise, many companies | would be bankrupt before the Public j Service Commission could act." Dr. ! H. M. Stine, secretary of the asso- I ciation. also spoke. APRIL 2, 1919.

Of the unemployment policies held throughout the country, 61 per cent, j are in the hands of women, while j only 10.1 per cent, are held by for- J mcr soldiers and sailors. — Eminent Domain For Power Companies At a late afternoon session of the j Senate yesterday.

The percentage of women workers in in dustries in April, 1918, was thirtj*- seven.
